| Lyrics | You Can’t Beat Us (If It Takes Ten Million More) Verse: Say, Fritz, we’re going to give you fits, With a million Yankee hits, we’ll blow you into bits. Hey, Fritz, you’re fighting Yankee wits, You ought to know before you go, it’s time you called it quits. Refrain: For you can’t beat us, can’t beat us, beat us into old Berlin, You’re bound to meet us but you can’t defeat us, we’re going in to win. We’ll make you wish you never went to war, fight you like you never fought before. You can’t beat us, shan’t beat us, if it takes ten million more. Verse: Say, Fritz, why don’t you take a tip, When you know each Yankee ship is giving you the slip? Hey, Fritz, when Uncle Sammy’s grip begins to yank that German flank, Then something’s got to rip!
